Thanx

The Upholder of Wiki is awarded to exceptional and distinguished contributors on Misplaced Pages.

If I could I would give you every award Wiki has. You showed up. You have persevered in dealing with me, and your edits are of the highest quality. I hope to be able to count on you in all my future endeavors. (And I love all your quotes on your name page.) Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh my, Jenhawk777, custom is to say "Thank you, much appreciated!", but in this case I'd say 'Undeserved, 'cause I was quite harsh on you, and still haven't answered your latest ping'. But, I'm impressed with the humbleness of awarding this barnstar, so, thank you, and I'll try to be of help when needed, but I won't promise it, since I can't be sure if I'll always be able to do so.

Thank you, much appreciated - and not undeserved. Jenhawk777 (talk) 05:50, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Bodhidharma

Hello, just wanting an explanation on why jumping straight to Chan on the Bodhidharma page is acceptable given that you seem to have quite a understanding of history. There are two points the word and character is Chinese and not Indian so by reason denotes integration into Chinese culture, and the other is there is a complete neglect to reference the initial Chinese Buddhist's historical culture. The time foundation of south and north is still in dispute. ie hui-neng. I think that we are going to have to get mediation on this one to be fair if you and the others are going to dispute my edit on page. Thankyou Foristslow (talk) 00:56, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

@Foristslow: why do you even question the semi-legendary status of Bodhidharma as the founder of Chan-Buddhism? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jonathan yes there is enough information to put the existence of Bodhidharma Under question. Buddhabhadra for instance was attributed to being the Abbott of the temple trained in many indigenous arts, two of his students are mentioned in the Chinese Buddhist canon, also the historical timeline of the Shaolin temple, points to the only reason it did not get closed with the rest of the temple's as Buddhism was out of favour with the Emperor, is because of Xuanzang's the Chinese monk was kept as a foreign diplomat in Cort due to his extensive knowledge of Indian Buddhism, as Taoism was now in favour. So I think we have a lot to maybe talk about Foristslow (talk) 11:55, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
